The emotional rollercoaster of being a leader 🤢
Which of these emotions have you experienced at work?
Sweat: Driving business results under tight deadlines
Eye Rolls: Dealing with difficult co-workers, team members, or bosses
Shivers: Making tough decisions under high-pressure situations
Cold Feet: Leading large changes or transformations in your organization
Pounding Heart: Scaling teams and driving growth in unpredictable conditions
Well, you’re not alone. I have experienced the shivers, the sweat, and the cold feet throughout my career. I have witnessed the eye rolls and the straight faces. Heck, I have even witnessed the FUs and the FOs.
And it’s never fun.
With more than 20 years leading teams in large and small corporations, I have seen the ups and the downs and felt the pain and, at times, the helplessness of being a manager.
Along the way, through first-hand experience in the trenches, I have identified and developed strategies that worked for me to deal with those situations.
Strategies that will work for you too.
The sole purpose of The Good Boss is to share those strategies with you, to empower you to be a more effective leader.
Warning: You might start doing crazy things as a result of hanging out here 🚀
I have to warn you, though.
If you hang out here, and especially if you start applying the strategies that are shared, you will:
Start making better, smarter decisions in your role as a leader
Gain trust and lead your teams with confidence
Accelerate your career growth and progression
Multiply your team’s productivity without burning anyone out
Whether you are an aspiring manager, a seasoned leader, or an entrepreneur, you can expect to come out stronger from this experience.
Okay, so I warned you.
